We told you the news yesterday when Golfer Sergio Garcia made a racially charged joke in the direction of Tiger Woods. Garcia was talking at a European Tour function and when asked if he would have Tiger over for dinner he responded, “We’ll have him round every night,…We will serve fried chicken.”
Now we have a response from Tiger himself, in the form of a series of tweets.
The comment that was made wasn’t silly. It was wrong, hurtful and clearly inappropriate…

I’m confident that there is real regret that the remark was made.

The Players ended nearly two weeks ago and it’s long past time to move on and talk about golf.

Very classy remark from Tiger, who decided not to stoop down to Garcia’s level and fire back.
Hopefully this back and forth between the two is officially over.
